Faber played great but that was a very poor play to get the shot blocked. The only guy on the ice with gas in the tank pounced on it.

Thanks. I needed that. I'll tell ya, that Buium sure looks electric out there. And I like what I see out of Tarasenko so far.

Can somebody please score some goals and can we please get more shots on goal? Thank you.

And since they are breaking huddle with only 10-12 seconds remaining on the play clock, that gives very little time for an inexperienced QB to make reads and alter protection or the play. They should try a more hurry-up style of play calling, so he can stand there and look at the defense...

Reactionary much? I highly doubt this rumor is credible.

Meh? Can he win a faceoff?

Aha. Thank you.

Taylor Fritz is currently ranked #4 at age 27. Ben Shelton is ranked #6 at age 22. If either were a player in any team sport (e.g., NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA), you would be calling them elite. Or are there only 3 or less elite players in each of those sports?

Is there anything prohibiting a significant rise in pay in years 4-8, if they were to want to sign him long term? Stay below the cap until it rises. Same $$ (maybe have to do time-value of money calculation), but spread out to the advantage of the team. Why couldn't they offer him that and...

Kilby is on Barriero about once a month. You can podcast episodes he's in. He's a massive T-Wolves fan and he and Barriero get along quite well. Always a fun segment. He's even been in studio. Kilby is also doing some podcast thing of his own that I haven't yet checked out. Might not be...

It was 2-2. But yep.

I don’t know about that. I would never count him out until it’s over. Dude has a POWERFUL game.

Just caught Nur-D at the Taste of MN. That's a pretty lively show. They are playing several local shows upcoming, including the Fillmore, Hewing Rooftop and Franconia Sculpture Park https://nurdrocks.com/home "Nur-D’s infectious energy and joy shine through, where sharp lyricism, humor, and...

Definitely the MVP, if Florida wins, I agree.

“MoJo”? Haven’t heard that one. Johansson had a decent season and is taking a $1.2 MM pay cut. He will turn 35 in October. Feels like a good deal for the Wild, if he can stay healthy. By comparison, he earned $9MM in 19-20 + 20-21 for Buffalo. Wild probably overpaid in 23-24 for 2 years x $2MM.
